Fire on Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona

I just saw news reports that on the evening of May 8, 2012, three businesses on Montezuma St., across from the courthouse, have gone up in flames in the heart of Whiskey Row in Prescott. The businesses were the Bird Cage Saloon, Pearl's Place Cafe (where they say the fire started), and the Prescott Food Store. The article in the Arizona Republic is at http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2012/05/08/20120508prescott-...

What a shame.

 

I've drank a number of beers in the old Bird Cage. I hope they rebuild.

I thought at first this was about the fire 100+ years ago there. Then I realized you're talking about now!
